New Dacia Sandero, Sandero Stepway and Logan at Paris Motor Show

The French automaker Renault's Romanian brand Dacia has showcased the all new Dacia Sandero, Dacia Sandero Stepway and the new age Logan at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. Out of the three, Sandero hatch will go on sale in the UK in October 2012, Stepway crossover in the first half 2013, while Logan won't be launched there.

Dacia’s new design identity emphasises quality and strength. The three restyled models share the same harmonious front end, radiating outwards from the Dacia logo in the grille. The design of the large headlights and grille gives the cars a more expressive face. In profile, the proportion of body to glazed surfaces underlines the impression of robustness, helped by a sculpted waist line, more emphatic wheelarches and flanks found on each new model.

Inside the cabin as well, it has got more plush featuring a new dark-carbon or two-tone dashboard (according to model and version) home to comprehensive and contemporary-style instrumentation, with chrome-surrounded dials and latest-generation, eminently functional controls. The air-vent surrounds, steering-wheel logo and gear-stick handle label are chrome-finished (according to trim level).

The central fascia is highlighted by a colour wheel trim embellisher (according to trim) that matches the door handles and the design strip on the steering wheel. Aesthetic quality has been enhanced through the clever choice of materials and flusher fit. As far as the engine is concerned, all three cars are offered with a broader choice of engines that are 'New, frugal and high-performance' ,including the Renault's new three-cylinder turbocharged TCe 90.

The other engines are 1.2-litre, 16 valves 75bhp, 1.5-litre, dCi 75bhp and dCi 90bhp. The production of the all new cars will be done in Pitesti Plant in Romania and the Casablanca plant, Morocco. Moreover the features like Dacia Plus&Radio, Navigation Multimedia system, Speed Limiter/Cruise Control, rear parking sensors and wide range of accessories are offered with all three vehicles that prove the new range to be highly advanced.
